JR Namba Station

JR Namba Station (JR難波駅, Jeiāru-Nanba-eki) is a railway station in Namba, Naniwa Ward, Osaka, Japan, adjacent to Namba Station (Nankai Railway, Osaka Subway) and Ōsaka Namba Station (Kintetsu, Hanshin Railway) operated by the West Japan Railway Company (JR West).

The station has two underground island platforms serving four tracks.

It was renamed JR Namba on September 4, 1994, in collaboration with the opening of Kansai International Airport.

New underground facilities opened on March 22, 1996, and replaced the former above-ground station.
